One TikTok user is going viral for sharing the moment his daughter saw a woman act out for the first time inside of a restaurant, which he caught on camera.


In the 10-second clip, which has racked up over 3.6 million views, Scott Hubbard (@scottyhubs) films his daughter watching on as a customer argues about her order at the counter of what appears to be Mexican fast-food chain Filberto’s.


“That’s literally the easiest thing — fries, meat, cheese,” the angry customer can be heard screaming at the employee in the background as the young girl watches on. “You spoon it on, I’ve worked fast food long enough to know.”

Hubbard’s daughter then turns back around to her father and towards the camera, innocently asking behind her mask “Why is she so angry?” in a heartbreakingly confused tone.

The video has garnered over 525,500 likes and nearly 4,200 comments, with many hitting back against the customer’s behavior and feeling emotional over the young girl’s reaction.


“Oh the innocence,” one commenter wrote. “Good question though.”


“Hopefully this prompted a discussion about how one person is supposed to treat another?” One user asked, to which Hubbard responded promptly “You bet it did."


Hubbard also took to the comments to offer clarification and additional information on the situation that unfolded.


“Backstory! As we were waiting for our food this lady came in from the drive through and parked her car on the curb,” Hubbard wrote. “She slammed the doors open …. I never post videos like this I just thought my daughters reaction was so pure. Food service employees don’t deserve to be treated like trash for something so small.”

Others called the woman’s actions “childish” and “sad” and pointed out that she should be “embarrassed.”


“That is just the world now,” one user wrote, talking to the young girl in the video. “I am so sorry you have to grow up in this mess.”


According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 3,450,120 fast-food and counter workers in the United States as of May 2020, paid an average annual wage of $24,450.


This is approximately 546,700 workers fewer than was reported the same time the year prior, thanks to restaurant closures and changes in the workforce amid the pandemic.


However, positive changes appear to be on the horizon.


It's been reported that wages for hourly fast-food workers jumped around 10% in Q2 of 2021 in comparison to the same time frame in 2020, per a report from Black Box Intelligence and Snaggjob.

On November 7, 2020, daylight saving time will come to an end. Clocks will be rolled back, Calendars shuffled, and Americans confused. PauseUnmute Fullscreen VDO.AI Calendar - Calendar This annual tradition has baffled many Americans who question the system and its purpose. Regardless, everyone needs to make adjustments to keep up with the time change. To understand daylight saving time, you need to brush up on a little bit of history. Here’s why the time change was first introduced and why it’s still in place today: A Brief History of daylight saving The first suggestion for daylight saving came from Benjamin Franklin. He penned an anonymous essay to The Journal of Paris, explaining that people could save money on candles by getting up earlier to rely on natural sunlight. While satirical in its writing, the idea stuck around. Daylight saving time was first implemented during World War I when Germany used it to conserve fuel in 1916. The rest of Europe quickly copied Germany’s schedule

5 Ways Hybrid Smart Contracts Are Changing the Blockchain Industry

  For years, the blockchain industry has been defined by the excitement around smart contracts, or tamper-proof digital agreements that automatically execute when a certain condition is met. Typically associated with blockchains like Ethereum, smart contracts allow developers to build decentralized applications or “dApps” that recreate all sorts of products without the need for a rent-seeking middleman. However, over the last year, smart contracts have begun to evolve. While developers are still building smart contracts on top of blockchains like Ethereum, they’ve also begun to combine them with an entirely new piece of technology:  oracles . Oracles are entities that enable blockchains to interact with data and systems from the traditional world.  As a result, “ hybrid smart contracts ”, or smart contracts that combine on-chain code with off-chain oracles, have taken the world by storm due to the enhanced functionality they enable for dApps. Today, hybrid smart contracts power several
